A-Rod's Wife Alleges Infidelity in Divorce Papers

Cynthia Rodriguez has officially filed for divorce against her husband of six years, New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez.

In the divorce petition, Cynthia's attorneys write, "Alex has emotionally abandoned his wife and children, and has left her with no choice but to divorce him." The petition goes on to state that the marriage is "irretrievably broken because of the husband’s extramarital affairs and other marital misconduct."

According to papers, Cynthia, 35, wants to be named primary residential parent with shared custody of their two children Natasha, 3, and Ella, 3 months. She wants to keep the family's six-bedroom, $12 million home in Coral Gables. She is also seeking alimony, life and health insurance, private school tuition, and equitable distribution of assets.

Although she signed an antenuptial agreement shortly after the wedding, her attorneys reserve the right to argue that it is not valid.
